This book presents a photographic view of the nuclear weapons factories in the United States and the Soviet Union and some of the people involved with them. It contains over 100 often emotionally charged photographs and captions of the buildings, workers, scientists, test sites, and survivors (including Japanese) of the nuclear weapons complex. It also includes extensive field notes and interviews with individuals in the pictures. Providing a unique perspective of the bombs and the vast nuclear arsenals that the world possesses, the work also gives insight into the secret nature of the government’s nuclear capabilities.
